,could therefore only compel those rho
must eat foreign fruit, to pay for this
inferior article one dollar per box more
than they now pay. In other words all
who buy foreign oranges, because they
cannot find enough Floridas for domes-
tic consumption, must waste one dollar
which does not benefit us, and Is only
subtracted from the business of the
country to fill a national treasury al
ready overburdened with a tremendous
surplus. What sort of political economy
is this!
No, protection viii not help any indus
try. 1t may give fictitious prosperity,
but no business is worth anything unless
it lives by reason of 1.-The survival of the
fittest" and can stand open competition
in the open market. Protection is taxa
ton; can taxation sustain life: When
capital was scarce in this country and
communication with other nations slow
and costly and our country of compare
lively small extent, protection might be
accepted as a measure of necessity IN
view of the possibility of war and with
the idea that we should produce all we
needed. But none of these considera-
tons will apply now. The fictitious val
ues given any article by artificial pro
lection" will only bring on "A collapse
and heavy loss-like every wrong, be
ginning necessitates an indefinite cOntin-
uance. If we can buy oranges cheaper
than we can grow them let us turn our
attention to something else. If the
Florida Herald will give a reason for the
protection of oranges which will not
apply with equal force to the pro
lection" of tea or coffee or the manu-
facture of artificial diamonds, we will
acknowledge a defeat and leave Carlisle
and Cleveland for Randall and Kelley.
The South must not now abandon the
position she has so long held against all
Corners with logic and argument and
fact. She insisted on protection" for
slavery, and one such lesson should be
enough. Her protected industry put
her n century behind the age and the
sword which freed her from the deadly
excrescence brought her to the brink of
tne grave. we want no more StlCn sur
gical operations. Let us follow Carlisle
and the Democratic party; we cannot
progress if we saddle ourselves with the
weights under which our antagonists are
dying.
The fruit culturists are struggling
in one sense, we admit, but under no
load of which protection can relieve
them We grow the crop but we do not
reap the profit, and the fault is our Orrn.
Even the lack of transportation facilities
our lack of business ability, our careless
ness in handling and system of market
ing which invites fraud and enriches
thieves. From these burdens our own
experience must free us if we would
cease to make a losing struggle" No
patent nostrum or worn out fallacy can
give us sense or teach us the practical
knowledge we need. We put the fruits
of our industry in the hands of irrespon-
sible parties and then cry out that all
commission men are robbers. We ship
wet or green or bruised fruit and are sur
prised that the buyer finds it unfit for
use. If some friend will protect us from
these consequences of our own foolish
ness, he will save us far more than lone
dollar per box"

The Florida Herald opposes Perry be-
cause his services are needed in the
State. Did the Herald support Bloxham
because he was not needed in his present
office? Does it now support Judge Nc
Whorter because that gentleman is not
needed as Chief Justice? Did not Biloxi
ham and McWhorter make contract on
assuming office as definite as that made
by Perry? Does not Mallory's answer to
the petition asking him to support Perry
reduce to absurdity all 1.-The voices of the
people" the Bloxham papers have been
invoking? If Governor breaks his
contract with the people on becoming
Senator why has not the same complaint
been urged to break long list of estab-
lished precedents?

A new enterprise was lately started in
Jacksonville, backed by capital of one
hundred thousand dollars, supported by
the names of many of the most substan-

our living part of the house and went to
pulling over things and looking into

My wife had to ask them to go out. and

it was a great joke that Mexicans should

Village improvement societies are a
feature of Northern village life Many
villages have been made beautiful after
a consistent plan by concerted action of
the citizens and with but small individ-
ual expense. Many small towns in
Florida might adopt the plan with sue
cess. Nothing sells property like well
shaded streets, kept clear of weeds and
nicely kept front yards. In State so
rich in variety of trees and shrubs as
Florida it should not be difficult to fur
nish a pleasing vista for each street that
would delight the eye of the visitor.

For ISSS.

We are told: To elect Mr.. Cleveland
over any man the Republicans may
nominate will be an easy matter unless
Democrats. who differ with him ON civil
service shall lend the Republicans a
helping hand by unfriendly criticism
Democrats do not differ with Mr.
Cleveland on this question. One must
subscribe to the platform of the party if
he would be Democrat, and then he
agrees with Mr.. Cleveland. The dissatis-
faction expressed lay with the practical
workings of the system and not with the
principle which gave it birth. The Civil
Service Commission for more than a
year exerted all Its energies tOantagonize
the Democratic party and its policy-not
to give the nation a reformed Civil Ser
vice. While this was the case it was the
part of all true Democrats to cry aloud
changed.
The cry reached the ears of the Presi-
dent and a radical change was effected.
With the thoroughness characteristic of
the man he weeded out the abuses, and
the sharpest criticisms yet written of the
old methods comes from the new COM
missioners. The country is now getting
its first taste of real Civil Service reform,
and against that no democrat will cry
out. Mr.. Cleveland will not go back in
the path which now opens SO fair before
him, and his nomination is already as
sured,
But for the fact that Kentucky is
safely democratic, Cleveland and Car
Isle would be ticket to make defeat
impossible. If we must go to a doubtful
State for our Vice President we care lit
tie who he Is so ne be not tainted with
protection.

Our advices from Tallahassee show
that the Legislature will refuse to carve
the proposed county of Santa Fee from
the counties of Putnam, Clay, Bradford
and Alachua. The scheme met the solid
opposition of Senator Fowler and he was
supported to Messrs. Hind and Carleton
in the lower House. In this we believe
these gentlemen represented justly the
wishes of their constituents except inn
mediately in the neighborhood of Mel

THE OUTLOOK AT PHOEBE.

A. II. Codbe has reached home from
Phoebe, Nevada. and he reports the
mining situation down there as about
thus The Yuba has big vein with
four feet Of solid galena, from which a
late shipment Of five cars to this citv
gave an average Of about 500 in gold
silver and lead. The water company got
on the wsr-path lately with the Phoebe
Con. Company and raised the water
rent for the Yuba from SIS to $3.50 Der
month, and the same proportion on the
Raymond Ely and Burke properties.
This caused the company to shut down
the mines and machinery and suspend
work at the teachers. The Phoebe Con,
Company has since made a big tank on
the hill and prepared to pump water
from the Meadow Valley property to the
tank for use at the properties named. In
the meantime they have secured bond
